Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) dark chocolate
- 8 oz (226 g) fresh raspberries, rinsed and dried
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a flat tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring a smooth surface. Lightly grease cookie cutters with oil to prevent chocolate adhesion.
- Chocolate Melting: Use a double boiler or microwave to melt dark chocolate, stirring consistently until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency without lumps.
- Molding and Initial Layering: Pour melted chocolate into cookie cutter molds, creating an even bottom layer. Reserve a portion of chocolate for final decoration.
- Raspberry Embedding: While chocolate remains soft, position raspberries downward, gently pressing them into the chocolate layer without complete submersion.
- Initial Chilling and Decoration: Refrigerate the tray for 45 minutes until chocolate sets. Once firm, drizzle remaining chocolate over raspberries, creating an artistic pattern.
- Final Hardening and Serving: Return to refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to ensure complete hardening. Carefully remove bark from cookie cutters, breaking or cutting into individual pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within several days for optimal freshness.
